Police seize suspects and drugs

Almost 40 people were arrested during a fortnight-long police operation which recovered a kilogram (2.2lb) of heroin and offensive weapons.

The drugs were found in a car which set off from London bound for South Yorkshire, while a man from Sheffield was found with six samurai swords, two daggers and a pair of martial arts nunchucks.

Officers also recovered a stolen truck and forklift worth 70,000 from Dinnington, near Rotherham, and arrested three men trying to sell a stolen car at a motorway service area.
